Solid list. Two that influenced me personally were: Wolpert, D. H., & Macready, W. G. (1997). No free lunch theorems for optimization. IEEE transactions on evolutionary computation, 1(1), 67-82. And the corresponding search paper. Got me started in search and optimization (and Prolog). Licklider, J. C. (1960). Man-computer symbiosis. IRE transactions on human factors in electronics, (1), 4-11. More of a philosophical outlook but the thought of man-computer symbiosis instead of "computer solves it" has stuck with me (and is quite relevant in this day and age).
